FAV HOTEL HIDATAKAYAMA West

My kids absolutely loved the bunk beds. Excellent sized family room for the 5 of us. There is a huge souvenir shop in the Takayama Green hotel just beside this hotel. The souvenir shop opens at 7am and closes at 10pm so we could still do some shopping after dinner. Laundry machine is the room was very convenient. Comfortable beds and pillows. There's a 7-11 convenience store just opposite the hotel. Do note that parking needed to be reserved. The hotel doesn't have many parking lots and guests need to inform the hotel in advance if you need parking. A traffic cone with your name will be placed in the lot to reserve it for you.

We stayed in the room which has 2 doubles and 2 single bunk beds - its beautifully designed. We know abit about furnishings and the room finishing is all top class, the rubbish bin alone is almost USD $300 and the bidet almost USD 800 .. haha. We like the foot lights, the heater in the bathroom/laundry room, the dehumidifier, the microwave etc - smallish but clean and comfortable. We had to park off site as the hotel parking lot is very small and fully reserved. Thats alright as the paraca parking lot is just 5 min walk away and is inexpensive. We are within walking distance of the old city, the morning markets and the stroll is very pleasant.

Spacious for Japanese standard. Fully equipped with facilities such as washer and bathroom dryer. The shower is separate from the bath tub, which is a plus point if you’re travelling with the elderly. They also provided a stool for you to use, just like in the Onsen. The kitchenette is well equipped, and there’s a table for two where you can have dinner comfortably. 7e is across the road, a clothing mall is just opposite the hotel. Food market (Boss Food Market) is nearby, and a huge Nitori is also nearby. Restaurants are aplenty. Cleanliness is top notch.

I liked the spaciousness of the room. L shaped couch which could be laid on. Nice kitchen area. Washer a huge plus as I had clothes from 9 previous days to wash and dry The hang dryer in the bathroom was efficient. Staff was always professional, polite and friendly. English spoken was better than average even though I have decent travel Japanese No pun pun (long, angry) faces there. Not overly helpful but just right with proper affect. I've stayed in hotels, guesthouses, Air BNB in Japan for over 200 nights and as far as spaciousness , cleanliness and comfort of the room it was in the top 5, and I have stayed in some good hotels, Hilton,Mitsui Garden,Prince hotels etc. It is not a luxury hotel with a huge lobby , many scurrying people around trying to help, BUT it was a luxury room with 2 large full beds and 2 large bunk beds above them. I had room to do my morning exercises and stretches..jumping jacks, stretches, running in place and there was room for another person. It was a 15 min walk from old town which made it out of the way. Only drawback which wouldn't stop me from staying again was few eateries proximal to the Fav but it isn't a deal breaker. All in all.....GREAT. I wish more place in Japan were like the FAV.

Location is within 10 mins walk from Takayama station. Opposite the hotel is a 7-Eleven which is so convenient for us especially on the day that it snowed. Room is big enough for 5 adults. The WC (toilet bowl) is in a separate room from the shower, which allows 2 people to use 2 facilities at the same time. We love the washing machine and the heating in the shower room helps to dry our clothes. The hotel is within walking distance to the old town which is on the East side of the train station.
